Today's Reading

2 Samuel. Just as Jesus faced betrayal, so did his ancestor David. David's response can teach us much about facing those who have something against us. Joab's brother Abishai would have been glad to kill Shimei, but David saw the big picture and wouldn't allow it. That's a great lesson because betrayal cuts us deep within the soul. Instead of fighting, David interpreted the pain as means for God to teach him.

John. "We have no king but Caesar!" What a sad testament to the location of their hearts.

Psalm 119 contains the simple testimony of a yielded man: "I am Your servant." I want that to be my testimony, growing more true every day of my life.

Proverbs. Simple honesty and fairness with all people will help you develop a good name and give honor to God.
